A generator object for Perl 5
I have recently started a new job and it has forced me to learn more Python than I have ever had need to learn. I decided that I should take this as an opportunity to learn, and as Miyagawa-san has often done, steal when possible.
One thing that fascinated me is Python’s yield
or generator pattern. In this pattern, you can make a function (or my case an object) which implements a lazy iterator returning a value (or possibly values (see below)) without leaving the while
loop that generates them.
